Goblin Tales for Adults by Jack Eason

You'll change your mind about goblins!

Obadiah introduces Glob to the mother of all goblins, Hermione
Fingletook. She explains why goblins never know where they came from.
She says each new goblin is born from a specially selected acorn which
she picks. Once born, she determines their purpose then fills their
minds with knowledge they need to survive before sending them out into
Goblindom.

I never thought I would enjoy a story book about goblins! Jack
Eason brought a family of goblins alive with such writing skill I felt a
warm place in my heart for each goblin. They are described so vividly
it's hard not to love each character in every tale Eason tells.

The fantasy tales told are one exciting adventure after another of
five goblin brothers. There are humans involved, called 'humins' to the
goblins, but these are friendly humans!

The tales are truly enjoyable to
read and have fun with. I think it would be a wonderful book for all ages.
